Movie Reviews

Reel Film Reviews - 10/10 by David NusairThe most engrossing and flat-out entertaining documentary to come around since Murderball...

Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) - 9/10 by John BeifussCompelling from start to finish, the movie is a real eye-opener for the uninitiated as it cogently makes the argument that video games deserve to be taken as seriously as movies, novels, paintings and more esteemed artistic disciplines.

The New York Times - 9/10 by Nicolas Rapold"Indie Game: The Movie" lays bare the passion behind the pixels, revealing the sweat, tears and sleep deprivation that go into trying to make the latest gaming sensation.

The Globe and Mail (Toronto) - 9/10 by Guy DixonThis is about developers communicating with the world in the most creative, productive way they know how. It's about the artistic process.

Toronto Star - 9/10 by Linda BarnardYou may have never picked up a game console in your life, but there's universal access thanks to compelling stories in Indie Game: The Movie.

JoBlo's Movie Emporium - 9/10 by Chris BumbrayNot only one of the best documentaries of the year, but one of the best films period.

Seattle Times - 8/10 by Soren AndersonThey're works of art. They're windows onto the psychology of their creators. They're video games.

The Hollywood Reporter - 8/10 by Duane ByrgeWell-crafted and intelligent, this film is an illumination of the agony of creation – the self-doubt, the obsession, the life sacrifices – that are the core, not merely the side-effects of those define themselves through "art."

The Skinny - 8/10 by Nicola BalkindAptly demonstrates just how much they are willing to sacrifice to that end, bearing hardship and putting lives on pause to reach that final product of a completed game.
